Camp Pocono Trails Claimed

About Camp Pocono Trails

Camp Pocono Trails (CPT) is a weight loss camp in Pennsylvania sponsored by New Image Camps. This camp is designed for kids and teens, ages 7-17, to achieve weight-loss results from fitness activities and nutrition programs. Pocono Trails promotes that the camp is known for results, but also for the fun experience campers will have.

Accommodations

Campers stay in cabins at Camp Pocono Trails. The cabins are separated by age, gender, and length of stay. Each cabin has 6-8 campers with a camp counselor. All beds in the cabins are single beds that are not bunked. These cabins are cleaned regularly by housekeeping.

Showers and bathrooms are located inside the cabins so campers do not have to leave their cabins to use these facilities.

Fitness

Fitness is an integral part at Camp Pocono Trails but according to CPT, so is fun. They promote that fitness activities are geared to be adventures mixed with fitness. Kids get to pick five activities per day to partake in. In addition to these five activities, there are free times during the day in which kids get to use all the facilities.

There are 42 fitness activities that campers can choose from that relate to five categories: water sports, athletics, calisthenics and fitness, and adventure trails and special outings. All activities are grouped by age, and most are grouped by gender. During the day almost all activities are grouped by gender; however, at night the activities are co-ed.

Food

Camp Pocono Trails has an on-site registered dietitian and fitness trainer. The nutrition provided at CPT is based on 2 sources: My Plate Guidelines from the USDA and Exchange List for Weight Management form the National Institutes for Health.

The goal at CPT is to teach kids how to eat right foods so they are empowered to do it on their own. The foods eaten are whole, natural foods—eliminating as many processed foods as possible.

Just like the dorms, the calories per meals are separated by gender and age. The typical calories consumed daily range from 1,600 to 1,700. Because a limited-calorie menu is paired with daily fitness and activities, campers are designed to lose 3-5 pounds per week depending on how much extra weight the camper has to lose.

Each day campers will receive three meals and two small snacks. These meals are built to be high in vitamins and nutrition. In addition to the regular menus, kids are able to follow kosher or vegetarian menus if needed.

Extras

Camp Pocono Trials has a separate swimming pool for boys and girls. These pools are heated and overlook the lake, Lake Akiba.

Safety is a priority at CPT. Onsite there is 24-hour security and medical staff. The staff to camper ratio is 1:4 in order to keep kids safe while providing needed attention. In addition to safety being a priority at CPT, the camp is also accredited as an American Camp Association. This accreditation shows Pocono Trails’ dedication to provide a safe and nurturing camp environment.

In addition to the kids camp, there are family, moms and young adult options at CPT. The family option allows families to do the same activities as the kids camp, but together as a group. The moms camp is for mothers who are looking to get in shape. Similar to the kids camp the young adults camp is for those 18-25 who are looking to lose weight and get healthier.
